What steps has the Welsh Government taken to make efficiency savings in the NHS since 2021?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 20/06/2025
Since 2021 NHS Wales has made increased savings, year on year, with 2024-25 seeing NHS Wales achieve record levels of savings.
Welsh Government supports this process, for example, through the Value & Sustainability Board, which is chaired by the Chief Executive of NHS Wales and meets regularly to support the system in identifying and delivering opportunities for efficiencies and improvements in resource utilisation, to deliver improved outcomes for patients, as well as financial savings.
